He looked at his large hands in shock. This wasn't right. Tears trailed down his cheeks as he looked at his adult body. Why did it have to be him? Why did he have to save the world? His body may have changed, but he was still a child at heart. He was much too young.

He sighed deeply and looked up at the doors. He couldn't afford to let his self-pity get in the way. But when he thought about the enormous task that lay before him he couldn't help but feel pity. There seemed no end in sight to his tasks. He was much too young.

He wanted to just lie down and forget about his troubles, but he knew he couldn't rest. He had already lost seven years. Who knew what Ganondorf had done in that amount of time? He climbed to his feet, his first destination clear. He had been told to go to Kakariko Village. If he started now, he could make it by tomorrow night. He was much too young.

He walked out of the temple, pausing to call out every few seconds, but nobody answered him. That wasn't a good sign. He shivered in fear. He was much too young for this. The town looked deserted except for a couple ReDeads. The sky was black and red with smoke. The air was frigid and he shivered violently. He was much too young.

Navi silently floated beside him. She was the only thing he had that connected him to his youth. Everything else was different. With the town this bad he knew that his home had to have been harmed. Unable to take it any longer the Hero of Time fell to his knees and sobbed. He was much too young to feel this dang old.
It's Link! From Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.

I wrote this years ago. Reading back over it, it's actually not too bad. I might rewrite it, but I don't have the time right now.

Largely inspired by Garth Brooks' Much Too Young

Silver AmuletsSilver eyes flickered back and forth, up and down, this way and that, as she drank in all of the sights and the smells of the place. Large groups of people were never something that the young teen was good with, but her curiosity had gotten the better of her once again. The place called Diagon Alley smelled interesting, though the once bright and colorful place looked as if it had gone through a war or some type of natural disaster. Many of the buildings were closed up with boarded windows, hidden behind a wall of purple posters—posters full of security advice and of sneering people who glared at the young teen as she made her way past t A Nuisance"It's always funny to watch people scurry to get out of the rain."   Absol raised up his head at the sound of her voice, his unblinking red eyes watching his owner for any signals. However, the young woman's hands remained motionless and, after a few moments, he lay his head back down on his front legs.   "They act as if it is some unwanted thing, a nuisance, if you will. But yet, without the rain they could not survive." She let the tent flap fall back down and then walked deeper inside. Just before she stepped out of sight, she held up her index and her pointer finger, and then tapped them on her side.   The di Airbending"The wind will carry you. It supports something inside you, something even lighter than air, and that something takes over when you fly."  - Teo   His first breath was that of freedom.   That was the only way he could describe the air, the wind. How could it be anything else?   The air was light, and he was lighter. His body weighed next-to-nothing, and he practically flew across the ground when he moved. A simple sneeze would send him flying high into the air; a light shove would nearly push him over backwards. He twirled and whirled and swayed, moving like a feather in the breeze of life.

welll, it's uh cool and all. I like the way you right but...wouldn't the triforce of courage help him in this and his determination to set things straight and finding zelda put him a upward state? Just saying. It's really good. This is just my opinion.
